Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for my hp pavilion. It was touch screen so I thought, ooohh. I can practice draw on laptop. But would this be compatible? It is! And is listed for it. I'm just starting out so I expected a big manual and long set up for bamboo pen. No such thing happened. I was able to slip in that battery and go to work with no downloads needed. The computer came with workspace for me to play with and paint is a given. I posted pictures. I'm not good by any means and this was not the way to go to really draw because it's not really made for that like a drawing tablet. That and I suck lol. I just wanted to see if I'd like it and then would get a drawing tablet. I love good old pencil and paper still. But this was okay. It works and responds well. You'll see it sense and try to guess your pen point without it being to close. Can def use it for notes n doodles. Loved it for what it is.

Writes nice and smooth. Didn't need to do anything additional hooked up automatically w my laptop. Only downfall i see is that it takes AAAA batteries and i don't just have those laying around i wish for the money it was a rechargeable one. However i purchased a rechargeable one and it didnt work at all so this one works perfect and i am grateful and grateful to best buy for showing me the right one to work

The Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus for Windows Ink, 2nd Generation, in Gray, earns high marks in my book for its impressive functionality and compatibility with Windows Ink. The stylus seamlessly integrates with Windows devices, offering a smooth and precise writing and drawing experience. Its ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip, enhancing overall usability. The only reason I deducted a star is the non-rechargeable nature, relying on cell batteries. While this choice ensures extended usage, a rechargeable feature would have been more eco-friendly. Nevertheless, the Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus stands out for its performance, making it an excellent tool for digital creators and Windows Ink enthusiasts.

Device used on: Samsung Galaxy Flex Alpha 13.3 in, 12 GB RAM, intel core i7 Windows 10 Art Programs tested on: -Autodesk Sketchbook -Clip Studio Paint Pro Suprisingly worked on the Galaxy Flex Alpha! (most pens are not compatible with this device including the S pen) Examples of pen pressure in both programs photographed. Pen pressure worked well, however if you have a shaky hand like I do, definitely look into your art program's line stabilizer. The eraser button feature worked in both art programs, however keep in mind when using this pen with autodesk sketchbook, one of the bottons may activate a seemingly random tool from the tool bar each time so be mindful to not bump the button. When you hover the pen above the screen, a little white dot appears to show you that the screen senses the pen. One issue with this pen is how slippery it is, usually leading me to slipping and pressing a button accidentally or dropping it. My main issue with this pen is there is a slight lag to it, which is okay with writing but for digital art this may slow you down. The pen works just fine in digital art if you work a little slower. My device operates on Windows 10, there was no need to synch my pen. It worked right out of the box. Came with 1 AAAA Battery that needs to be installed before using.

Very useful for both my Omni laptop flip & tablet devices in general! I love how it looks/feels/writes like a normal pen! The attached piece helps keep it in place in my bag when on the go

I just received my stylus pen yesterday and so far everything has been great. It has two buttons the bottom is a deleting button and the top is a right click button. It works pretty well on my HP Envy x360 2-in-1 laptop 14-fx0xxx. It's a good buy for its price.

I recently purchased the Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus, 2nd Generation in Gray has been a fantastic addition to my HP 360x ! The stylus feels comfortable and balanced in hand, making it a pleasure to use for extended periods. One of the standout features is its compatibility with a wide range of Windows Ink-enabled devices, which ensures versatility. Whether I'm taking notes, sketching, or annotating documents, the Bamboo Ink performs exceptionally well. I mainly use it in my Canva ! The pressure sensitivity is on point, allowing for precise and natural pen strokes. The customizable buttons on the stylus are a big plus, as they can be configured to suit your workflow. This feature enhances productivity, making it easy to switch between different functions seamlessly. The battery life is impressive, lasting for extended use without frequent recharges. The stylus connects quickly, so you can get back to your creative work without much downtime. The only minor downside I've encountered is that the nibs may wear down over time, but replacements are readily available with it. In summary, the Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus, 2nd Generation, is a reliable and versatile tool for anyone who values precision and flexibility in their digital work. It's a must-have accessory for Windows Ink users, and I highly recommend it.

As a college student, the Wacom Bamboo Ink Smart Stylus (2nd Generation) is a fantastic everyday tool it feels comfortable and natural in your hand, tracks well for taking notes in lectures or annotating readings, and works smoothly with a wide range of Windows Ink–ready laptops and tablets. Setup is easy (usually plug-and-play), the precision is great for handwritten diagrams and quick sketches, and it’s durable enough to toss in your backpack without worry. It isn’t rechargeable and isn’t made for heavy-duty art, but for class notes, study sessions, and digital organization, it’s a reliable, affordable companion that makes campus life just a little more efficient and fun.

I, like everyone else in the reviews, got it for my 2-1 galaxy alpha laptop. It works for that one, one of the FEW I found out after nearly four hours of looking for a cheaper alternative. It doesn't come with palm rejection but thankfully the laptop has a feature for that. The pen itself is good except for the fact that it randomly stops writing for a brief seconds or two, just for you to completely miss a letter. If you write cursive, not a good choice for you. Other than that I enjoy it, the batteries to replace it are cheap on best buy and long lasting. So if you don't mind the occasional miss, it is exactly as I'd hoped. It does look very nice, although I also wished it had a cap or came with a pouch or some sort of protection.

I recently bought the Samsung galaxy book flex2 alpha which is a 2 in 1 so when in tablet mode I was looking for a pen/stylus that would work but Samsung didn’t have a compatible pen for that specific laptop so I googled and lots of people recommended this pen which works perfectly! I love it and it’s easy to use.

Bought the pencil for my HP envy 360, works just fine. Compatible and easy to use. The price was good and the quality of the pencil is perfect.

I'm not used to stylus but I'm very impressed. It allows for me to set it up the way I want to so that way I can use it in so many different ways and specify the way that I need it too. And it's the perfect way of not too heavy but not too late where I know I would lose it. I'm very impressed

I bought this to go with my new Samsung galaxy flex alpha. It works great and is fun to color with. I can't wait to "play" with it more to see what all it can do. I have read other reviews about the lack of extra tips, but I doubt that I'll use it so much to need another. good weight and size feel in your hand. It does not come with a case, so i use a small cloth bag to protect it and keep it from getting "lost" in the bottom of my bag. It is a bit on the pricey end but worth it.

Works great with my new laptop and helps taking notes so much easier

I love this pen! I need a pen for my Galaxy Book Flex Alpha and it works perfectly. I use it to draw, take notes, or doing hw digitally. Highly recommend! Its really good for the price.

I bought this for an open box Inspiron that was missing it's pen. I got this pen open box as well for $20, so I don't know if $50 is worth it. But I think it is still worth it if you will seriously benefit from a pen on your device. This should be compatible with most any windows laptop. I first bought a pen elsewhere that only works with surface devices which was very frustrating.

I dont think it was an ideal buy since this hardware seems to be part of proprietary set of products(like a Smartboard) of a compnay. Although it is compatible with Windows 11 OS, it has very limited uses.

I love the bamboo ink stylus, it's one of the few pens that work with my laptop (dell Inspiron 2 in 1) as well as the art program I use (Autodesk sketchbook). It gives you everything you need being a casual artist.

Its okay but it stops working randomly, i use one note and it will disconnect at random times

Easy to use and very light weight big plus good price
